The Leafs are very deep at defense, and are a good, young, up and coming team. If you really knew anything about hockey other than your team, you would know this already.

2nd best PK in the NHL and only 0.1% out of 1st place.
1st in Hits, 180 more than the next team.
1st in blocked shots, 26 more than the next team.
7th in takeaways.

Sat, 21 Sep 2013 19:14:34 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2295694#comment-227929I like Franson, but he’s ruining his own career trying to go for a big salary in the worst possible year to try and get a big salary. Sign a couple years, then cash in when there’s money to spend.

Leafs should just trade him while his value is high. He’s decent, but not going to hurt the team to move. Leafs have plenty of defensive prospects that will be just as good if not better… and considering the amount of cap space left, the Leafs are probably better off signing Raymond and giving a prospect a shot than overpaying Franson 1st liner money to play 2nd/3rd line minutes.

Sat, 21 Sep 2013 17:56:04 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2295694#comment-227922For sure he’s the best Leaf defenseman,. He’s had ten offer sheets this week! I heard one was worth almost 2.5 mil/season…wait, my bad, that was the Leafs offer.

He’s not bad defensively, and he’s got a good shot. 25 of his 29 points were assists resulting from point shots on the power play, so there is a little bit of luck there. We are not talking about a guy that’s an offensive power house here. We’re talking about a guy that got 4 goals last season, and 5 goals the year before. He’s been playing in the third defense pairing against the opposing team’s weaker players, and even though he’s a big guy, he doesn’t do a lot of body checking.
